Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1049

The first thing the next morning, Duncan got up anxiously. He got changed and went out the door after washing up without even eating breakfast.

He was terrified that his mother would shove Lily on him and make him accompany her everywhere.

In the face of a mother who was always urging him to get married, the best policy was to leave.

Truth be told, Duncan could understand where his mother was coming from since he was already thirty-six, after all, and not twenty-six. His eldest nephew was about to get married too while as the youngest uncle, he still had no girlfriend. How could his mother not be worried then?

The result of escaping to Brynfield so early in the morning and calling Zachary at the entrance to the neighborhood was—

“Go away!” Zachary was still lying on his bed with his wife in his arms. When he received the call from his good friend, with a dark expression, he bluntly replied Duncan with those two words.

“Why are you so fierce? Considering our many years of friendship, what’s the big deal about me coming over to your place to have breakfast?”

“Bro. What time is it now? You came over so early! You came over without even eating breakfast, is there a tiger in your house that wants to eat you?” Zachary replied Duncan hotly.

He had not planned to cook today and had specially asked Kevin to bring breakfast from the hotel since it would have been on the way as Kevin was heading back to the manor too.

If Kevin could hear Zachary’s thoughts, he would have said that it was not on the way at all and that because his eldest cousin had asked for it, his route had to become “on the way”.

Duncan took a look at the time and said, “It’s almost seven. I decided I would come for breakfast so naturally, I came earlier.

“Zachary, you’re a psychic. There really is a tiger at home—a tigress, in fact. I’m afraid I’ll be consumed until no bones are left, so I came to your place to escape. You’re my best shield, you know.”

Zachary was speechless.

When it came to Duncan who always spoke the truth, Zachary had no way of countering him.

When Serenity woke up and opened her eyes to see her man was still lying beside her, but had an inexplicable expression on his face, she asked, “Babe, who is it?”

As she said that, she lifted the covers to get out of bed.

Zachary hugged her and pulled her back, falling back onto the bed together. “There’s no need to make breakfast today. I’ve asked Kevin to bring a few servings of breakfast with him when he passes by here before he leaves for the manor.”

“When did you ask him?”

“While you were asleep.”

Zachary indulged in her presence as he hugged her. “Let’s lie back down for a while. It’s fine even if you can’t sleep. I’ll be extremely happy if I can just hug you like this.”

Serenity smacked his big, unbridled hands away. Liar.

It would be weirder if she believed him. Men’s words while in bed could not be trusted.
